Abstract	This report presents an evaluation of the Asian-American Communications (A-AC) In-School Staff and Parent Workshops program in New York City public schools for the 1988-89 school year. A-AC provided workshops on Asian cultures for schools with large Asian populations and acted as a resource center by offering support services to interested schools. The following major program objectives are discussed in this report: (1) to conduct a field survey in each school to gather information on specific problems and needs regarding Asian American students; (2) to conduct a 15- to 30-minute presentation and discussion based on needs identified by the field survey for 40 to 200 personnel at 30 schools; and (3) to provide follow-up activities based on the information gathered at the workshop and to provide crisis intervention, mediation, parent networking, and translation services upon request. Evaluation methodology is briefly discussed. The evaluation indicates that all of the program's primary objectives were met, except for attendance. There was no available data to assess the attendance objective of the 40 to 200 participants per school. Most workshop participants rated the sessions well-organized, but indicated that the opportunity for question-and-answer interaction was sometimes limited. Participants gave high ratings to the workshops in terms of their usefulness and information. Recommendations for improving this program are discussed. (JS)
